From one of America's pre-eminent ornithologists and nature photographers, here is everything a beginning birdwatcher needs to create a haven for birds in the backyard. From choosing binoculars and field guides to creating a garden birds will love, The Complete Backyard Birdwatcher's Home Companion is the complete guide for any birder in North America. Donald Heintzelman first covers the basics--equipment and identification--and then shows how to attract and sustain birds in the backyard through the use of gardening, landscaping, feeders, baths, and birdhouses. Three model backyard landscapes are illustrated in full-color spreads, and quick-reference charts identify matches between plants and the birds that use them. The Companion also includes a detailed resource section that includes birding on the Internet and state-by-state listings of birding organizations and equipment suppliers. -- Book Description
